Simplicisssimus:
German magazine published weekly from April 1896 through 1967, with a hiatus from 1944-1954. Upon 1964, the publishers decided to rethink its strategy becoming a biweekly in 1964.
Combining brash and politically daring content, with a bright, immediate, and surprisingly modern graphic style, Simplicissimus published the work of writers such as Thomas Mann and Rainer Maria Rilke.Examples:
This anti-clerical cartoon is another image that was posted in the Simplicissimus at another point in time, the artist(s) at this point are unknown.Also known as dr Simpl (German name) was one that was
routinely used for news and propoganda purposes, until the acquiring of this art movement but not until it was utilized solely as a propoganda item in relation to German forces. The image on the right is another from this movement, that of which is from Rudolph White, these three images are similar in that they are exhibited within the same artistic movement, however each illustration became detailed as time went on. The details in White's illustration I feel are outstanding as it brings an interesting contrast from what you see here when compared to the red bulldog.
